The Last of the Planetary Close Encounters

The last of the Moon’s close encounters with the pre-dawn planets takes place on the 6th – but it’s a challenging one.

Venus may be easily visible, but fainter Mercury might be difficult to see in the pre-dawn twilight, especially for observers in the UK. Likewise, the crescent Moon might also be a challenge as only a very thin sliver may be visible. Using binoculars will certainly help.
